Female characters are given Ian Fleming labels with a touch of Li'l Abner: Polyester Poontang, Miss Maidenhead Fern, Trampolena Whambang and Miss Hope Climax.

To some extent, the techniques consist of old-fashioned torture protracted and refined, in a mixture of mental and physical ordeals. The P.O.W. may be kept in utter isolation or thrust into a cell group without a shred of privacy. He may be forced to sit or stand in the same position for hours on end until his bodily functions go awry. His interrogators...
